Wendy Williams Faints On Live TV After Overheating In Costume
"Let's get started. Our first guest...," she trailed off before falling to the ground. The audience let out a gasp and the show immediately cut to commercial. But after taking a few minutes to catch her breath, Williams remarkably returned to the show. "That was not a stunt. I overheated in my costume and I did pass out," she explained. "But, you know what? I'm a champ and I'm back!" The show released a statement saying: "Ms. Williams fainted on-air this morning. She is dehydrated and is on her way home for a good day and nite of sleep." "She has been examined by medical professionals and is well. She is ok and will continue as shows as planned. She will address this on-air tomorrow. She has never missed a day of work and is looking forward on November 13th to her 1500th show." Wendy Williams fainted on the air while wearing Statue of Liberty costume for Halloween.
